Dunglen racing horses in focus

Ol 'Man Dingle opened his account in the Kilmore Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel back in October 2024, sitting mid-pack before advancing approaching the final two flights. He seized the lead before the penultimate hurdle and, despite a slight error at the last, raced clear to win by over six lengths.

Just a few weeks later at Wexford, Ol'  Man Dingle bagged his second victory in the Kehoe Farming Rated Novice Hurdle. Racing prominently, he surged away in the straight to narrowly beat Tonaghneave Well by half a length. 

Ol' Man Dingle delivered his third consecutive win — this time as a novice handicap debutant at Leopardstown during the Christmas Festival. Starting at 20/1, he led from the turn, made a minor jumping error at the last but rallied to finish with a commanding winning margin of nearly five lengths. Following this he was rated as one of the Top 20 Novice Hurdlers in Ire&GB.

Ol' Man Dingle has proven adaptable across distances (2m up to 2m4f) on soft-to-yielding going conditions. His career is on an exciting upward trajectory with futher improvement expected when he embarks on a novice chasing career in autumn 2025. With some luck he will be contesting at all the major festivals in the 2025-26 NH season.
